Please stop sending wildly off topic mails to the list. Thank you.
Linux wants a 32 bit CPU. Stock Linux wants a MMU. I'm not sure if it is at all feasible to port Linux to a <32bit architecture but I'm definately sure that it will be a LOT of work and probably not worth it in the end.
I suggest you investigate ARM cores, Crusoe CPUs and/or some of the other chips that have been mentioned in discussions on this list earlier if you want to start experimenting with embedded systems and Linux.
